Newbness: What category of trance is...

Hola gang. I was curious if anyone knew what type of trance the following artists are:

Etnica
Cydonia
X-Dream
Koxbox
Total Eclipse
Spectral
Juno Reactor
Tandu

They are all on a CD titled "Trip Through Sound - Outside the Reactor". The reason I ask is because I'm 90% sure these are trance artists.

Those are all psy trance/goa except Tandu, who is better known as Ayla. He makes more regular epic trance stuff.

thanks man. this was my "hunch" as well but i can never be too sure. i tried using Ishkur's guide be he makes some very biased statements so it's hard to tell if he's right on or not.

I dunno about Juno Reactor being Psy/Goa. They're more trance, with a lot of guitar elements. Sort of like Skazi, but without the goa spirit.

Valid point. Pigeonholing Juno Reactor as psy/goa isn't really fair considering how varied and different all they do sounds like. However considering their connections with Blue Room most people tend to associate them with that genre, so I thought I'd just simplify a little.
